- E350 CDi AMG Night Premium Plus (Sept 2015) with GAD Tuning re-map. Definitely not double badged.
I've seen a few threads on this subject historically but not referring to my particular model year.
Problem: my 2015 E350 CDI is getting noisy. When it is cold it has something of a diesel rattle which I can't really grumble about, but I don't know if this is normal though, as my old BMW 320d was quiet from the off.
Once I'm moving, part throttle is REALLY rattly and I can sometimes get the engine to feel like it is stalling when pulling out of junctions. Nothing... nothing... nothing... woosh! (clatter, clatter, clatter)
There's also a ticking noise. It isn't at engine or wheel speed, and changes with the gear indicator so it is something to do with the box.
When I got the car I was proud to take people out in it because it just surged silently down the road. Now I'm not so sure. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid and listening too hard as this car cost me a massive chunk of my savings.
Maybe useful if somebody local with a 350 could have a go or I could try theirs to see if there's a difference? Maybe the Portsdown meet?
